July Progress

Ok, so it's not a finish or even any sewing, but I'm feeling like the end of the tunnel just got closer, July is cut out ready for today's sewing machine day, slipping in a bit of pleasure sewing with the work load. I even have a ziplock bag, filled with all the appliqué pieces, ready to stitch.... 

Dear Chooky, I may be claiming double letter status this month... Not promising, but I am motivated.

Go for it Sonia - preparation is the key - and it often takes the longest time.

Prep is always good. I think July will be a big month so starting early is a good idea.
